A set of four early coloured beautiful lithographs of in and around Southampton. They are entitled respectively ‘High Street, Southampton’, ‘Southampton from the Pear Tree Green’, ‘Bar Gate, Southampton’ and ‘Southampton Piers, South View’. John Newman was an engraver, lithographer and publisher specialising in topographical views. Although not listed in Abbey it does list a similar work on nearby Bournemouth with four views of the same size. Here Newman is the lithographer but the series was published by the Southampton booksellers and printers Piper and Ellis of 139 High Street, Southampton. Not in Abbey but refer Scenery (1956) 50; Mackenzie (1998) p. 263.
